There's a reason I've always set off into the black around update time. This time I opted for a trip around the rim of the galaxy. I see I made the right choice - again.

The prio bug has already been reported. It's a "visual" bug, you still can set prios as you like, here is the work around

New power priorities bug?

I just took off in my iCourier having fitted a Heatsink to see if it would automatically launch a heatsink when taking damage (it's a feature of the HCS Voicepacks commands) and noticed that my power priorities are messed up after the update. They were all as I'd set them up initially but...

Looks like they've put the patch back an hour. It's now saying 1500 UTC

I know this is a bit off-topic, and possibly irritating to those waiting to play, but ED has the most interesting bugs/crashes of any modern game I've played. The earlier quirk that prevented Clippers from engaging hyperspace whenever a wholly cosmetic ship kit was fitted was a doozy; how on Earth does that even happen? But this one is pure nostalgia. Bitmaps that suddenly corrupt and shift sideways, accompanied by flashing squares? I haven't seen stuff like that since the ZX Spectrum.

Did somebody POKE the video RAM? Retrobugging at its finest.

Every keypress was a long Beep

Oh those where the days...

10 PRINT "CMDR HACKER# 451563's member is as big as Heathrow airport"

Put a semi-colon on the end of line 10, for extra leverage

I suppose CMDR Hacker# 451563 will have to use the 'members only' entrance, reserved for such special occasions!

So did the mission board fix come at all? since it's still broken

It's not broken anymore, just the single non-do-able "prank" mission every faction is offering IOT keep the game from soft-locking. Totally fine for a Friday afternoon rush job!
